I could still remember vividly how I first met this car, & the impression it created on me.

I had boarded a taxi, & then the 303,000+KM on the odometer caught my attention.

There & then, being the 1st car that will have such huge mileage (mind you I'm in Nigeria, West Africa) to me, I decided to start checking the car out. The engine sound still rocked great, & every bit of the pieces inside it were functioning. As I alighted from the cab, I took a glance at the back &, lo & behold!, I discovered that it was an unpopular car.

I made up my mind that day that it will be my 1st new car.

I'm preparing to own my 1st car. If not for money shortage, I won't dream of leaving that car for a fairly-used one.

Hi all,

I just want to add a story we had in a Serbian national auto magazine: a taxi driver (operating mainly on open road) drives a Logan 1.4 8v 75HP for over 500,000km with still the original engine, unopened for general service, only basic maintenance (oil, filters, water pump...).

I too don't like the interior of basic models, but hey, one could choose Laureate trim; it's at least good as basic Ford or Opel trims, in my opinion.

Indeed, in East Europe we have a very different perspective about new cars, since most of us can't afford anything more expensive than 10-12k EUR.

About Logan, I always hoped they would make the same car with 5 doors (a liftback, like the Octavia for example), not only a sedan. The Sandero is not that, since it's smaller (shorter) than the Logan.
